5. Scroll to the bottom and ensure Encryption is set to Use WPA-PSK Encryption

6. Make a record of the key supplied by the WPA-PSK Encryption Key. Note, that this key will also match the WPA-PSK key underneath your modem (flip it upside down).

7. It is also a good idea to rename your modem to something unique. This is determined by the Network Name (SSID) option. The default name is Thomson followed by a series of numbers and letters.

8. Hit Apply. Your modem will now reset, give it a minute or so

9. If you are hardwired, disconnect the wire from your computer and browse your wireless networks for modem. When you try to connect, it will ask you for your WPA key. Enter the key you recorded in the earlier steps. Again, it should also be listed underneath your modem as the WPA-PSK key.

10.That’s it! You’re done!
